It has been a long day. A day without the use of those items we rely on day in and day out. A 12 hr long power cut on campus has left me with a question. Do I rely too much on materialistic gadgets?
I seem to find the company of others mundane, the repetition of conversations in different companies, the frivolous talk of inconsequential issues, and yet I flirted from one group to another and felt the world go by really slow. Lost within my thoughts, I watch the world as it played out conversations like a really old film, straight out the canister. The characters of old, the conversations plagiarized, the scenes from the same locations. I was watching reruns without being part of my film and reduced to being the silent spectator. My watch, silently and constantly ticked as the world around moved slowly. A silent laughter escaped my lips, as dark clouds gathered above the sky. A flash of lightning and a gentle breeze brought down the soothing drops of rain, gently washing away the screen. Back to my reality, another conversation takes place, "Damm, there is no current! I can't charge my phone!". As I watched the world outside and its dependence on technology, I wanted to break free from the shackle's and go into the wild........
